1 HOUSE RESOLUTION 9
2 BY COMMITTEE ON ETHICS

4 A Resolution relating to the House code of ethics.
5 Be It Resolved By The House Of Representatives,
6 That the House code of ethics shall be as follows:
7 HOUSE CODE OF ETHICS
8 PREAMBLE. Every legislator and legislative
9 employee has a duty to uphold the integrity and honor
10 of the general assembly, to encourage respect for the
11 law and for the general assembly, and to observe the
12 house code of ethics. The members and employees of
13 the house have a responsibility to conduct themselves
14 so as to reflect credit on the general assembly, and
15 to inspire the confidence, respect, and trust of the
16 public. The following rules are adopted pursuant to
17 chapter 68B of the Code, to assist the members and
18 employees in the conduct of their activities:
19 1. DEFINITIONS. The definitions of terms provided
20 in chapter 68B of the Code apply to the use of those
21 terms in these rules.
22 2. ECONOMIC INTEREST OF MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE OF
23 HOUSE.
24 a. Economic or investment opportunity. A member
25 or employee of the house shall not solicit or accept
26 economic or investment opportunity under circumstances
27 where the member or employee knows, or should know,
28 that the opportunity is being afforded with the intent
29 to influence the member's or employee's conduct in the
30 performance of official duties. If a member or
Page 2
1 employee of the house learns that an economic or
2 investment opportunity previously accepted was offered
3 with the intent of influencing the member's or
4 employee's conduct in the performance of the official
5 duties, the member or employee shall take steps to
6 divest that member or employee of that investment or
7 economic opportunity, and shall report the matter in
8 writing to the chairperson of the house ethics
9 committee.
10 b. Excessive charges for services, goods, or
11 property interests. A member or employee of the house
12 shall not charge to or accept from a person known to
13 have a legislative interest, a price, fee,
14 compensation, or other consideration for the sale or
15 lease of any property or the furnishing of services
16 which is in excess of that which the member or
17 employee would ordinarily charge another person.
18 c. Use of confidential information. A member or
19 employee of the house, in order to further the
20 member's or employee's own economic interests, or
21 those of any other person, shall not disclose or use
22 confidential information acquired in the course of the
23 member's or employee's official duties. For the
24 purpose of this rule, information disclosed in open
25 session at a public meeting under chapter 21 of the
26 Code and information that is a public record under
27 chapter 22 of the Code is not confidential
28 information.
29 d. Employment. A member or employee of the house
30 shall not accept employment, either directly or
Page 3
1 indirectly, from a political action committee. A
2 member of the house shall not act as a paid lobbyist
3 for any organization. However, this paragraph shall
4 not prohibit a member or employee of the house from
5 working for a candidate's committee, a political
6 party's action committee, or a political action
7 committee which does not support or oppose expressly
8 advocate the nomination, election, or defeat of a
9 candidate for public office in this state or expressly
10 advocate the passage or defeat of a ballot issue in
11 this state and which is not interested in issues
12 before the general assembly.
13 For the purpose of this rule, a political action
14 committee means a committee, but not a candidate's
15 committee, which accepts contributions, makes
16 expenditures, or incurs indebtedness in the aggregate
17 of more than five hundred dollars in any one calendar
18 year for the purpose of supporting or opposing to
19 expressly advocate the nomination, election, or defeat
20 of a candidate for public office or to expressly
21 advocate the passage or defeat of a ballot issue or
22 for the purpose of influencing legislative action.
23 e. A member or employee of the house shall not
24 solicit employment on behalf of the member or
25 employee, or on behalf of another legislator or
26 employee, as a lobbyist while the general assembly is
27 in session.
28 f. Certain goods or services. A member or
29 employee of the house shall not solicit or obtain
30 goods or services from another person under
Page 4
1 circumstances where the member or employee knows or
2 should know that the goods or services are being
3 offered or sold with the intent to influence the
4 member's or employee's conduct in the performance of
5 official duties. If a member or employee of the house
6 is afforded goods or services by another person at a
7 price that is not available to other members or
8 classes of members of the general public or is
9 afforded goods or services that are not available to
10 other members or classes of members of the general
11 public by another person where the member or employee
12 knows or should know that the other person intends to
13 influence the member's or employee's official conduct,
14 the member or employee shall not take or purchase the
15 goods or services.
16 3. APPEARANCE BEFORE STATE AGENCY. A member or
17 employee of the house may appear before a state agency
18 in any representation case but shall not act as a
19 lobbyist with respect to the passage, defeat,
20 approval, veto, or modification of any legislation,
21 rule, or executive order. Whenever a member or
22 employee of the house appears before a state agency,
23 the member or employee shall carefully avoid all
24 conduct which might in any way lead members of the
25 general public to conclude that the member or employee
26 is using the member's or employee's official position
27 to further the member's or employee's professional
28 success or personal financial interest.
29 4. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. In order for the
30 general assembly to function effectively, members of
Page 5
1 the house may be required to vote on bills and
2 participate in committee work which will affect their
3 employment and other areas in which they may have a
4 monetary interest. Action on bills and committee work
5 which furthers a member's specific employment,
6 specific investment, or other specific interest, as
7 opposed to the interests of the public in general or
8 the interests of a profession, trade, business, or
9 other class of persons, shall be avoided. In making a
10 decision relative to a member's activity on particular
11 bills or in committee work, the following factors
12 should be considered:
13 a. Whether a substantial threat to the member's
14 independence of judgment has been created by the
15 conflict situation.
16 b. The effect of the member's participation on
17 public confidence in the integrity of the general
18 assembly.
19 c. Whether the member's participation is likely to
20 have any significant effect on the disposition of the
21 matter.
22 d. The need for the member's particular
23 contribution, such as special knowledge of the subject
24 matter, to the effective functioning of the general
25 assembly.
26 If a member decides not to participate in committee
27 work or to abstain from voting because of a possible
28 conflict of interest, the member should disclose this
29 fact to the legislative body. The member shall not
30 vote on any question in which the member has an
Page 6
1 economic interest that is distinguishable from the
2 interests of the general public or a substantial class
3 of persons.
4 5. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. Members and employees
5 of the house shall comply with the requirements
6 contained in chapters 68B (Conflicts of Interest of
7 Public Officers and Employees), 721 (Official
8 Misconduct), and 722 (Bribery and Corruption), and
9 sections 2.18 (Contempt) and 711.4 (Extortion) of the
10 Code.
11 6. CHARGE ACCOUNTS. Members and employees of the
12 house shall not charge any amount or item to a charge
13 account to be paid for by a lobbyist or any client of
14 a lobbyist.
15 7. TRAVEL EXPENSES. A member or employee of the
16 house shall not charge to the state of Iowa amounts
17 for travel and expenses unless the member or employee
18 actually has incurred those mileage and expense costs.
19 Members or employees shall not file the vouchers for
20 weekly mileage reimbursement required by section 2.10,
21 subsection 1 of the Code, unless the travel expense
22 was actually incurred.
23 A member or employee of the house shall not file a
24 claim for per diem compensation for a meeting of an
25 interim study committee or a visitation committee
26 unless the member or employee attended the meeting.
27 However, the speaker may waive this provision and
28 allow a claim to be filed if the member or employee
29 attempted to attend the meeting but was unable to do
30 so because of circumstances beyond the member's or
Page 7
1 employee's control.
2 8. GIFTS ACCEPTED OR RECEIVED. Members and
3 employees of the house shall comply with the
4 restrictions relating to the receipt or acceptance of
5 gifts contained in section 68B.22 of the Code.

21 12. COMPLAINTS.
22 a. Filing of complaint. Complaints may be filed
23 by any person believing that a member or employee of
24 the house, a lobbyist, or a client of a lobbyist is
25 guilty of a violation of the house code of ethics, the
26 house rules governing lobbyists, or chapter 68B of the
27 Code.
28 b. Complaints by committee. The ethics committee
29 may initiate a complaint on its own motion. Committee
30 complaints may be initiated by the committee as a
Page 8
1 result of a committee investigation or as a result of
2 receipt of any complaint or other information that
3 does not meet the requirements of these rules
4 regarding the form of a complaint but that contains
5 allegations that would form the basis for a valid
6 complaint.
7 c. Form and contents of complaint. A complaint
8 shall be in writing.
9 Complaint forms shall be available from the chief
10 clerk of the house, but a complaint shall not be
11 rejected for failure to use the approved form if it
12 complies with the requirements of these rules. The
13 complaint shall contain a certification made by the
14 complainant, under penalty of perjury, that the facts
15 stated in the complaint are true to the best of the
16 complainant's knowledge.
17 To be valid, a complaint shall allege all of the
18 following:
19 (1) Facts, including the approximate date and
20 location of any event, incident, or transaction that,
21 if true, establish a violation of a provision of
22 chapter 68B of the Code, the house code of ethics, or
23 house rules governing lobbyists for which penalties or
24 other remedies are provided.
25 (2) That the conduct providing the basis for the
26 complaint occurred within three years of the filing of
27 the complaint.
28 (3) That the party charged with a violation is a
29 member or employee of the house, a lobbyist, or a
30 client of a lobbyist.
Page 9
1 d. Confidentiality of complaint. The filing of
2 the complaint and the contents of the complaint shall
3 be confidential until the time that the committee
4 meets to determine whether the complaint is valid,
5 unless either the complainant or the party charged in
6 the complaint makes the existence of, or the
7 information contained in, the complaint public.
8 However, if either the complainant or party alleged to
9 have committed the violation requests that the meeting
10 to determine whether the complaint is valid be a
11 closed meeting and the filing of the complaint or the
12 contents of the complaint have not been disclosed, the
13 meeting shall be closed.
14 e. Notice of complaint. Upon receipt of the
15 complaint, the chief clerk of the house shall promptly
16 notify the chairperson and ranking member of the
17 ethics committee that a complaint has been filed and
18 provide both the chairperson and the ranking member
19 with copies of the complaint and any supporting
20 information. Within two working days, the chief clerk
21 shall send notice, either by personal delivery or by
22 certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
23 person or persons alleged to have committed the
24 violation, along with a copy of the complaint and any
25 supporting information. The notice to the accused
26 person shall contain a request that the person submit
27 a written response to the complaint within ten working
28 days of the date that the notice was sent by the chief
29 clerk. At the request of the accused person, the
30 committee may extend the time for the response, not to
Page 10
1 exceed ten additional calendar days.
2 f. Hearing regarding validity of complaint. The
3 committee chairperson and the ranking member shall
4 review the complaint and supporting information to
5 determine whether the complaint meets the requirements
6 as to form. If the complaint is deficient as to form,
7 the complaint shall be returned to the complainant
8 with instructions indicating the deficiency unless the
9 committee decides to proceed on its own motion. If
10 the complaint is in writing and contains the
11 appropriate certification, as soon as practicable, the
12 chairperson shall call a meeting of the committee to
13 review the complaint to determine whether the
14 complaint meets the requirements for validity and
15 whether the committee should request that the chief
16 justice of the supreme court appoint an independent
17 special counsel to conduct an investigation to
18 determine whether probable cause exists to believe
19 that a violation of the house code of ethics, house
20 rules governing lobbyists, or chapter 68B of the Code,
21 has occurred.
22 If the committee finds that a complaint does not
23 meet the content requirements for a valid complaint,
24 the committee shall dismiss the complaint and notify
25 both the complainant and the party alleged to have
26 committed the violation of the dismissal and the
27 reasons for dismissal. A dismissal for failure to
28 meet the formal requirements for the filing of a
29 complaint shall be without prejudice and the
30 complainant may refile the complaint at any time
Page 11
1 within three years of the date that the alleged
2 violation took place. If the dismissal is based upon
3 a failure to allege facts and circumstances necessary
4 for a valid complaint, the dismissal shall be with
5 prejudice and the party shall not be permitted to file
6 a complaint based upon the same facts and
7 circumstances.
8 g. Request for appointment of independent special
9 counsel. If, after review of the complaint and any
10 response made by the party alleged to have committed
11 the violation, the committee determines that the
12 complaint meets the requirements for form and content,
13 the committee shall request that the chief justice of
14 the supreme court appoint independent special counsel
15 to investigate the matter and determine whether
16 probable cause exists to believe that a violation of
17 chapter 68B of the Code, the house code of ethics, or
18 the house rules governing lobbyists has occurred.
19 h. Receipt of report of independent special
20 counsel. The report from independent special counsel
21 regarding probable cause to proceed on a complaint
22 shall be filed with the chief clerk of the house.
23 Upon receipt of the report of the independent special
24 counsel, the chief clerk shall notify the chairperson
25 of the filing of the report and shall send copies of
26 the report to the members of the ethics committee. As
27 soon as practicable after the filing of the report,
28 the chairperson shall schedule a public meeting for
29 review of the report. The purpose of the public
30 meeting shall be to determine whether the complaint
Page 12
1 should be dismissed, whether a formal hearing should
2 be held on the complaint, or whether other committee
3 action is appropriate. The complainant and the person
4 alleged to have committed the violation shall be given
5 notice of the public meeting, shall have the right to
6 be present at the public meeting, and may, at the
7 discretion of the committee, present testimony in
8 support of or against the recommendations contained in
9 the report.
10 If the committee determines that the matter should
11 be dismissed, the committee shall cause an order to be
12 entered dismissing the matter and notice of the
13 dismissal shall be given to the complainant and the
14 party alleged to have committed the violation. If the
15 committee determines that the complaint should be
16 scheduled for formal hearing, the committee shall
17 issue a charging statement which contains the charges
18 and supporting facts that are to be set for formal
19 hearing and notice shall be sent to the complainant
20 and the accused person.
21 The notice shall include a statement of the nature
22 of the charge or charges, a statement of the time and
23 place of hearing, a short and plain statement of the
24 facts asserted, and a statement of the rights of the
25 accused person at the hearing.
26 i. Formal hearing. Formal hearings shall be
27 public and conducted in the manner provided in section
28 68B.31, subsection 8 of the Code. At a formal hearing

Page 13

2 committee shall also have the right to question
3 witnesses.

5 accordance with rules and procedures applicable to
6 contested cases under chapter 17A of the Code.
7 The committee chairperson, or the vice chairperson
8 or ranking member in the absence of the chairperson,
9 shall preside at the formal hearing and shall rule on
10 the admissibility of any evidence received. The
11 ruling of the chairperson may be overturned by a
12 majority vote of the committee. Independent special
13 counsel shall present the evidence in support of the
14 charge or charges. The burden shall be on the
15 independent special counsel to prove the charge or
16 charges by a preponderance of clear and convincing
17 evidence. Upon completion of the formal hearing, the
18 committee shall adopt written findings of fact and
19 conclusions concerning the merits of the charges and
20 make its report and recommendation to the house.
21 j. Recommendations by the committee. The
22 committee shall recommend to the house that the
23 complaint be dismissed, or that one or more of the
24 following be imposed:

10 investigation with a member of the committee, except
11 under the following circumstances:
12 a. During the course of any meetings or other
13 official proceedings of the committee regarding the
14 complaint or investigation.
